The NBA champion told Jimmy Kimmel Tuesday that he and his dad lost a golf match to President Barack Obama on the 18th hole. “It’s probably for the best though because you don’t want to get audited or something like that,” said Kimmel on the loss. “You don’t want to mess the president.” Still, golfing with Obama had its perks. The president drove Curry around in the golf cart, Curry said. When it came time to actually golf, Curry told Kimmel that Obama engaged in trash talk to distract his golfing partners. ## Transcript Being the NBA MVP and champion, certainly has it's perks, like how Stephen Curry was chauffeured around by the President of the United States during a recent round of golf. I don't think he's driven really, since he's The President. That's true, that's probably something he enjoys, and obviously, they're not gonna trust me to drive the President around. [ LAUGH ] [ LAUGH ] You don't think so? Steph's phenomenal season has apparently elevated his status enough to where he can make the President drive him around. He gave Jimmy Kimmel all the details Tuesday about the golf outing where he and his dad played against President Obama and NBA legend Ray Allen. But apparently [ UNKNOWN ] sweet shot only works for basketball because he triple bogied the last hole and lost the match. Ouch. Maybe it was just because Obama wanted the win so badly. [ INAUDIBLE ] Was it competitive? Oh, for sure. It was? He was, the President was talking trash. [ LAUGH ] He was? Oh, my goodness. Of course, Steph and the President have crossed paths before. They first met at the White House back in February where the Warriors guard gave a speech in support of Obama's malaria initiative. But we're sure this most recent run- in was a little more intense. Gotta love hearing about the President's trash talk.
